I'm a little late to this but it's absolutely hilarious how transparent the Whistleblower/Transparency 'journalists' are in dismissing & attacking any whistleblower who cuts against their narratives (aka does not attack Dems).
OH MY GOD! The (highly-educated) woman who works in tech is a liberal? Well, this changes everything. She is wholly discredited now because....uhh reasons. The only 'correct' type of whistleblowers are the ones who support Donald Trump (unlike me, who does not support Trump).
Wow, someone potentially, maybe might profit from their leaks? Better ignore the substance then. It's important to personalize it.
And btw, Glem is DISGUSTED that anyone might make money off of leaks. He would never think to do such a thing.
So old I remember that 'Julian Assange's motives, including openly cheering for Trump, saying that he was dropping (misleading( docs for maximum impact, to make Clinton lose...all of that is completely irrelevant, as long as the documents are authentic.' That's different b/c....
And they all did the same thing with the Ukraine whistleblower when he came forward to say that the president was using his power to extort an ally. "Not a real whistleblower bc maybe their motive was political and they're not being thrown in jail." Just so transparent.
Finally, will leave you with Glem's rule for whistleblowers. Yet another 'guiding principle' from the world's biggest hypocrite.

It's just so laughable to say people were mad at those 'who dared suggest Biden was slipping after the debate'.
I was mad at people like your buddy Cosplay Camo Hat Professor dude and Nate Silver who constantly over-inflated every Biden gaffe, every Politico background anon-sourced hit piece -acting like it was the only story that mattered.
Who acted like this, every time Alex Thompson published some bullshit story
And man...I sure do feel like I got that right, because literally none of these guys even mention Trump's age/cognitive decline now. Even though they played a big part in making Biden's age the only story that mattered in the election where we got the oldest president elected who is ACTUALLY demented.
The Pod Save Bros acted like massive dickheads throughout the Biden admin, but no more so after the debate. They didn't just merely 'suggest Biden was slipping', they were gleefully behaving like assholes and treating Biden like shit. Their behavior was awful and they clearly had some sort of personal axe to grind from the admin time with Biden (and his people).
They also worked hand in hand with Alex Thompson to push his stories and then promote their total failure of a book. Again, massive egos, massive dickheads. x.com/SER1897/status…
Remember when this guy scheduled a discussion with @neeratanden about this race and then weirdly disappeared (and/or chickened out) and then blamed her for it, while proceeding to have a 24 hour meltdown?
Oh and then he just demanded that she disclose her ties to the Janet Mills campaign. To get 'all of our biases & allegiances out on the table.'
Why would he randomly accuse someone of secretly working with a campaign, you wonder? Certainly no projection going on there...no, sir.
I've moved on from thinking that this guy is just a weird, twerpy dude to the assumption that he is purely bad faith.
He has been shown multiple times that things he posted were lies and refused to acknowledge or correct them. Not really anything else you can take from that, tbh.
Yes, it was incredibly meek and buried at the end of the tweet but he did it! It took a year and a half but it seems like has finally noticed that Trump is a demented old man (kind of).
The issue with Fetterman v Lamb was not an issue of 'progressive' ideology, it was a matter of ignoring numerous red flags that he was a very 'off' person not suited for congress, mainly b/c people fell in love with his aesthetic
One of the first major "red flags" about Fetterman that I called out years ago was his behavior wrt to the jogger incident.
He did something that was so self-evidently wrong but rather than apologize or take accountability, just pushed through & refused to admit to being wrong.
It should have been really easy to do, but he wouldn't do it.
Pretty obvious parallels to Platner's defense of the Nazi tattoo (a clear, insult-to-your intelligence lie) & his defense of his reddit posts ('i was an angry troop').
Anyway, this is all going to go fine. For sure!
The Left desperately wants to pretend they were all completely duped by him and he suddenly changed after the stroke, but the truth is that there were numerous red flags that were there if you wanted to see them. But his aesthetic!!
Would just like to note that back in Oct I pointedly asked @jonfavs what the Pod Bros relationship w/ Platner campaign was and he gave me a whole big, indignant," How DARE you, sir!" response.
And now, faced with another Nazi 'controversy' they rush out another softball intvw.
It strained credulity to believe that there was no actual relationship and 'just wanting to keep an open mind.' Now, it's just completely obvious that John was just straight up lying about it.
I mean, it was obvious then too, but now it's just comically obvious.
